proved by the Academic Councils of the two institutions with the support

Student Senate.Calendar highlights: September 5, freshmen report; September 8, regis-tration for non-freshmen; September Q, classes begin; November 2$, Thanksgiving holiday begins at noon; November 30, classes resume; De­cember l6-22, final examinations; January 20, second semester begins; March 13, mid-semester vacation begins; March 22, classes resume; May 5-12, final examinations; May 16, commencement exercises.

HESBURGH HONORED BY CATHODIC Til., ST. MARY' 8

Notre Dame* is president, Rev, Theodore M. Hes­burgh, C.8.C., received the Cardinal Gibbons . Medal, the highest honor conferred by the Catholic University of America at a banquet in Washington * s Sheraton-Park Hotel November 8th,

On December 7th Father Hesburgh accepted an honorary doctorate and delivered the principal ' address at the 125th anniversary convocation of Saint Mary* s College.

Speaking of the relati onship between Notre Dame and Saint Mary * s, Father Hesburgh said in part:

"I am intrigued by the thought that between us we might create a total educational opportu­nity that will be greater than the two separate opportunitites that have existed thus far.Tliere will be a lot of new realities in this equation, probably common registration and admissions, some composite academic departments shared on each slie and some representing a primary responsibility on one or the other side, common academic calendar, grades, stan­

dards, many academic facilities and programs planned and shared in common, and an equitable distribution of the true academic costs.I believe that all of this can be accomplished without submerging Saint Mary* s or bankrupting Notre Dame, or lowering the academic standards of either school. Degrees could be granted by either or both. We could join our strengths and eliminate our weaknes s es.

What I am proposing is that we should continue to grow together, neither losing nor diminish- ing our individual strengths or identities, but merging those realities that will be strength­ens d by a common effort and collaboration.

I would hope that the lessons of the past will continue to give us confidence and affection for each other,. and the flexibility to enlarge upon the vis ion that has s o superbly flourished, in the past on both' sides of the road so that, in the future, we might continue to grow, less conscious of what divides us and grateful for what enables us to create a composite reality that enriches each school and submerges neither*"
